Overview
- The Ubiquiti SFP28 Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a 3-metre passive copper interconnect engineered for 25Gbps Ethernet applications. By eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules, DAC cables reduce cost, power consumption, and latency whilst delivering robust performance for demanding network environments.
This cable supports multiple data rates (25/10/1 Gbps), making it compatible across generations of UniFi switching infrastructure. The SFP28-to-SFP28 connector design ensures seamless integration with modern enterprise switches, network appliances, and high-performance computing platforms.
Ideal for organisations requiring cost-effective, low-latency interconnects between switches, servers, and storage systems, the Ubiquiti SFP28 DAC combines simplicity with reliability for infrastructure that demands performance.

FAQs
What is a Direct Attach Cable (DAC) and why would I use one?
A DAC is a passive copper cable with integrated SFP28 connectors that connects switches, servers, and storage directly without separate transceiver modules. DACs reduce latency, lower power consumption, and are more cost-effective than active optical cables over short distances (typically up to 5 metres).
Is the Ubiquiti SFP28 DAC backward compatible with lower speeds?
Yes. The cable supports 25 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 1 Gbps data rates, allowing compatibility with both current and legacy network equipment.
Can I use this cable with non-Ubiquiti equipment?
Yes. The SFP28 connector is an industry-standard form factor. This cable will work with any SFP28-compatible network switch or interface from any manufacturer.
What is the maximum recommended cable length for 25Gbps operation?
Direct Attach Cables are typically rated for reliable operation up to 5–7 metres at 25Gbps. At 3 metres, this cable is well within optimal operating range with no signal degradation.
Is this cable passive or active?
This is a passive Direct Attach Cable, meaning it contains no active electronics. Passive DACs are simpler, more reliable, and lower-cost than active cables, and are suitable for shorter interconnect distances.
What warranty and support is available?
The cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Support is available through authorised Ubiquiti resellers and Hyetech Australia.
